    Škoda SuperB Wagon: make the suspension stiffer?

    Hi all, I wonder if anyone has ever "tuned" their suspension to be even more stiff then they are now in the "sport" mode. To me the car is still rolling to a side, bit more than I'd like it to. I know the ride will be a bit harsher but that's exactly what I want.
    Any recommendations who has done it / could do it? I've asked the Skoda service but the guy I talked to almost laughed. Cheers

    Replacement springs and/or rear swaybar is what you will need.

    The stiffer rear swaybar will help reduce the rolling on corners but will have no other effect on the ride.

    Springs will also help reduce the rolling on corners (lower centre of gravity plus stiffer than original springs) but will also have an effect on how the car rides.

    I've added Eibach sports springs and a H&R rear arb to my Superb Sportline Wagon. Transforms the handling, corners much flatter and no understeer. Height drop was about 25mm. Ride comfort is similar to before, Although I also changed my wheels to 18' and 45 series tyres rather than 40, which I think helped with the brittleness of the OEM tyres. Very happy with the result of all this.

    i too have the Eibach Prokit springs installed. It's dropped mine by 20mm.
    I also have the Hardrace rear sway bar.
    Combined, the swaying & wallowing have dramatically reduced.
    Bouncy bounce is less.

    Thanks for all the responses, will go with just the rear swaybar first and see how it goes. I don't want to lower my car just yet, but the same height springs just bit stiffer would be handy (any ideas?)

    Cheers

    Guys, can you post the link where you sourced the swaybars from? Looking at the Hardrace website for Skoda SuperB V8, there are only FWD versions. Does the same swaybar applies to AWD that I have? Cheers

    May I ask specifically which H&R arb did you fit?

    You can get custom springs made at the std ride height but stiffer.
